Dear Sir
This day I have received a letter from Mrs. C. Frantz, Historian of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Akron, Ohio, saying that she is now to compile the military records of Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Summit Co. Ohio. My grandfather, David Garrison, is buried there. He was born in Berlin, Hartford County, Connecticut, Dec. 21 st 1759, and lived there, until he came to Akron, Ohio in 1843, to live with his daughter, my mother, Mrs. Seth Seebett. He was an officer in a Connecticut Regiment, and drew a pension. I have no records, as our house was burned, and I was a little girl at the time of his death, July 1 st , 1845.

I have often thought of writing to you and Mr. Ladd, as to join the P. A. R.
I will willingly compensate you for any work. The association is good, I would of course like to know the number of his equipment and his official rank.

That he is now in the receipt of a pension from the Connecticut Agency at the rate of $81 month, but having served in the revolutionary war more than two years as a private in Captain Ephraim Bull's company of Dragoons in Colonel Elisha Sheldon's regiment. (Bull was afterwards promoted to allagor and was succeeded by one George Hartbut.) he believes himself entitled to more than he now receives as a pensioner & would therefore respectfully request that his name may be transferred to the roll of pensioners under the Act of Congress passed Jan'y 1832 provided he is found legally entitled to an increase of pension.

under the provisions of said Act. The deponent declares that he was a private soldier, about five years in the revolutionary War and that he has resided in Berlin, his present place of residence, more than fifty years past. The deponent further states that he served two years as a Corporal in a Company Commanded by Captain George Root (the successor of Captain Ephraim Bull) in said Colonel Elisha Sheldon's regiment, making the aggregate term of service about six years and three months and ten days - having enlisted March 3 rd 1777 and was dis- charged June 12 1783 according to his present impressions.

Sir
Herewith I desire to call your attention to the case of Daniel Galspin where papers are on file in your office.
We claim an increase of the pension of said Galspin, from $100. to $120. per annum, from March 4. 1831 to the July
9 th 1844 the time of his decease. This claim is made by
Warren G. Sackett the only surviving child of Mr. Galspin.
It is made on the ground that said Galspin was a corporal for two years in the 4 th Troop 2 Regiment Light Dragoons. To establish our claim we rely on the declarations made by said Galspin for a pension on file, in which he affirms that he served as a corporal two years. Also upon the certificate of the Comptroller of the State of Connecticut, showing that fact. —
The certificate of the Judge of Probate for the District of Hartford shows the death of Galspin, and that Mr. Sackett is his only surviving child. — Mrs. Sackett's power of attorney to Henry Fowler and Mr. Howland's letter to me on file show my authority to collect the same. — Mr. Sackett also claims an additional under

the act of May 15, 1828 which I wish you to examine. — Please communicate with me when the case has been decided. — I have the honor to remain Yours &c Gerrit P. Weld

Hon. Wm. Wilkins
Sir: permit me to call your attention to the case of Daniel Gulpin a Revolutionary Pensioner of Berlin Conn. formerly but for the year past residing in Akron Ohio. The proof I presume is in your Department that he enlisted as a private in the 4 th Company of Sheldon's Regiment of Cavalry March 3 rd 1777 and was discharged when the regiment was disbanded June 12. 1783.
Under the law of 1818 he received a pension for some two years and was then (as it appears to me unjustly) stricken from the roll under the law of 1828. As near as he can now determine (all of his papers of every description being destroyed by fire last Feb.) he was restored to the pension roll in 1830, through an appeal of a daughter of his, who is since dead, in a letter to the then Secretary of War in the assumed name of Constantia B. Douglass.
For 2 years he received $60 as his yearly pension, when his certificate was exchanged through the intervention of a Mr. Parsons for one calling for 100 $. His only surviving child is my wife, and he now resides with us in this place. On the night of the 12 th of Feb. last, my dwelling was consumed by fire with every thing it contained, myself and family with Mr. Gulpin escaping with difficulty in our night clothes from the flames. Since then his certificate (which was burnt) has been renewed at the War Office. The destitution which the burning of my dwelling and effects, brought upon my family and Mr. Gulpin, has induced me to do, what should have been long since done, viz. inquire into the justice of his claims for several years back pay.

I have before me Doc. No. 126. Ho. of Rep. 26 th Congress 1. session a Report of Secretary Poinsett. From an examination of these laws — the opinions of the Attorney General — and the Regulations of the Executive it appears plain to me that Mr. Golpin is entitled to his pension from the 3 rd of March 1826 under the law of May 15. 1828 (back pay say 4 1/2 years) unless there is some law or regulation which has not fallen under my notice.
I have the least doubt, but that if he had been able to have procured some faithful agent to have presented his claim he would have drawn a pension without interruption. See R. B.
Porter's regulations Doc. No. 120 p. 78. 26 Congress 1 session.
He made some efforts which were unavailing and being discouraged he has let the subject rest until now, never doubting but that the intention of Congress embraced him among the pensioners after 1820, as he was possessed of only one acre of land, upon which was an old dwelling house which could not have yielded a net of more than 75 or 80 $ he had no other source of income. But I suppose it is too late to correct that error.
I trust however that it is not too late for him to avail himself of the whole benefit of the law of 1828 May 15. and I hope you may give such attention to the subject as its merits may demand, and award to him all that he may justly claim by the laws and regulations touching the rights of Revolutionary soldiers.
Allow me to introduce another question to your consideration.
By a letter from the pension Office Hartford Conn. I am informed. that non-commissioned officers receive additional pay above the private in the army, in proportion to the time of service in such capacity. Mr. Golpin says that he served as corporal from July 1781 to May 1783 (for the time of 22 months) To this effect he can

give his oath in form prescribed by law. He however knows of no fellow soldiers to whom he can appeal for proof. Whether the records of his regiment can throw any light upon the subject you have better means of knowing than he has.
What he wants, is just what it was the intention of Congress he should have. Nor does it seem to be just that he should be deprived of the designed benefit, through his own ignorance or misdirected efforts.
I would therefore in his name earnestly request if you to award to him the back pay under the act of May 15 th 1828 and such increase of pension as he is entitled to for service as conferred, and to that end inform him, what steps, if any, it is necessary for him to take to secure his just claims.
Respectfully your Obed. Serv.

Honoured Sir,
Your letter of the 6th November last, was received on the 17th, and the kind words with which you was so kind as to favour us, were immediately attended to; yet owing to a mistake of the name by which we have not been able to obtain the schedule from him until this time; but I now enclose you the papers, with the assurance that every possible means has been used, in order to obtain the evidence required, which I think has been obtained in every instance excepting in the case of creditors to whom payments have been made, and whose testimony, owing to the circumstances of decease, removal, &c. it is utterly impossible to obtain; therefore, if my father cannot obtain a pension in these circumstances, I see no reason why it will not remain equally impossible, when he is reduced to the necessity of begging a subsistence ...

Honorable Sir,
Your former kindness, in noticing the letters, which is addressed to you, under the name of Constantin E. G. G. G. induces me to hope, that you will pardon me, for soliciting your aid once more, in behalf of my aged parents. — Perhaps you will recollect, Sir, that my last letter informed you, that his property was then worth between seven and eight hundred dollars, and that he was involved in debt to the amount of three hundred — since that time, his property is diminished in value, so that it is now worth not more than six hundred and seventy dollars; and the necessary expenses of his family, have so much increased his debts, that he has been obliged to give a mortgage on his property, for five hundred, to the amount of the sum of the loan; who allows him the liberty of residing in the house, so long as the interest of the mortgage is paid; but otherwise, the aged, sick, infirm and decrepit, must leave his humble dwelling, to seek a shelter, he knows not where; nor is he certain, lest his country, will soon be in a state of distress, which he has not known since his arrival here to settle, the "World's old country." — At the request of Sir, it was not my intention to trespass on your patience, by a recital of our distress, but my object in addressing you, is to solicit your advice — and if you will be so kind,

as to take the trouble of informing us, whether my father will be able to obtain a pension, in the present state of his affairs, and if not, what method he ought to pursue, in order to obtain one, you will receive the warmest gratitude, from her, who again adopts the name of

Dear Sir
Mr Samuel Galpin a Revolutionary Soldier and a Pensioner of the U States who was residing here in the family of Mr Seth Sackett his son in Law sustained a severe loss on Sabbath night, the 11 th Instant in the destruction by fire of his pension certificate his near Appear and every thing else, together with the dwelling house of Mr Sackett and all his furniture, provision, wearing apparel, bedding, library & book accounts. Mr Galpin will be entitled to a half yearly instalment of $50. 00 the first of March next but has no documentary evidence to establish his claim and I wish to ask you to apply at the appropriate department and obtain a certificate of the allowance of his Pension. He has heretofore collected his instalments at Hartford, Connecticut, but last summer came to Ohio to reside with his son in Law and wishes that his name may be transferred so that he may draw his money at Pittsburgh. Mr G. commenced drawing about 1830, perhaps under the law of 1831 - and I understand that the day after his Certificate issued a Law of Congress went into operation which gave to those who had not before drawn, two years back pay. This he has never received and perhaps by the letter of the Law may not be entitled. In his present destitute condition and of his family, the sum of $200. 00 would be very acceptable, and he asks that I would request you to give a little attention to this question & see if any thing can be done for him
Very Respectfully Yours &c
